Re: [LM_NET] TECH Mozilla Firebird vs. Firefox

[Tavis Hampton <hamptont@IPS.K12.IN.US>]

Firebird was the previous name for Firefox.  It was changed for legal
reasons.

Mozilla does, however, produce another browser suite (Mozilla).  It was
the open-source offspring of Netscape, and the current version will be
its last version.  They will continue to offer security updates for
Mozilla, but there will be no future Mozilla Suite versions.

Firefox (web browser), Thunderbird (e-mail client), and any other
individual programs that Mozilla makes will replace the bundled Mozilla
suite.

Does anyone know why Mozilla produces two browsers (Firebird and

Firefox) and what are the differences between them?
